"I-uh..." Before she can explain, Ben's door swings open. He emerges, shirtless. 775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWKWYQ345p
"What the fuck do you want, Red?" He rubs the back of his neck, his muscles rippling with the movement. I tear my eyes away, before Vanessa can catch me starting. It was incredibly difficult. Seriously, I'm like a freaking saint right now.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4io6jrBNg
"I thought..." Her eyes move back and forth between us. "Nevermind. Where were you, Katarina? I was worried sick!"775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDE0bXgWY2
"I couldn't find you, and I drank too much, so I just went and laid down in the spare room since I knew it was empty." I hope it sounds convincing.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSJjVDMmUV
"Oh ok. You just disappeared, so I didn't know..." Her eyes dart to Ben. I give a subtle head shake, to reassure her. "Okay, well... do you need to go then?" She glanced at him again. 775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEer3BZjs3
She knows I'm not comfortable being around him and it's mostly thanks to her that I've been able to avoid him as much as I have. 775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0BL4LADcx
She's been very understanding and I've really appreciated it, but I am so glad all of that is over. 775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2ASCEBCKM
"Well, if that's all. Fuck off, Red." Ben returns to his room, slamming the door in my face. My mouth is hanging open, but I can't stop myself.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3MQLqn2Xl
What just happened? 775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ439R9XS10c
"Wow." 'Ness looks at me sympathetically before pulling me into a hug. "Sorry, girlie. I know you are avoiding him, but I didn't know what to think when I couldn't find you."775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiC6Hl2szZ
I can't focus on what she's saying. What did I do? Crap, does this mean the deal is off? 775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCee610kar
I kinda wish I had his number so I could ask him what is going on.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2GPMWYPgKi
I pull out of her hug. I need to see him before we leave. "Yeah, I'm just gonna run to the bathroom real quick. Be right back."775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡna5tiApOFQ
"Okay, hurry up so we don't run into the playboy again." I immediately lock the bedroom door and head into the bathroom.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvGrVbxlBa
He's leaning against the sink, with his head bowed. Was he waiting for me?775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LvTlpTNPe
He looks up, realizing I'm there. "Kat. Oh thank god, I'm glad you came back. I am so sorry for that." He steps forward to wrap his arms around me. "I figured it would be best to keep up appearances until we figure out how to break the news in a convincing way. I don't think she suspects anything, do you?"775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJf6PL97Nk
He hasn't stopped talking long enough for me to say anything, I open my mouth to expand, but he keeps going. He releases me from the hug, but doesn't step back. 775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Px6OKs4nD
"I thought you would be pissed. Oh man, I thought for sure you would go full on hurricane. Red probably wants to kill me. We need a really good way to come out. Something big, but everyone has to believe it. Do you have any ideas?"775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkIdD1xHzh
The only thing I can get out before he continues is "Hurricane?" But, I don't even think he heard me.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXQ8ZL2SSP
"I had a few ideas, but I don't think they are grand enough. We need a grand gesture." I have to stop him, I told Vanessa I would hurry and if I don't, she will come get me.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXNN6hcn7J
"Ben. I need to go. Are you okay?" I place my hand on his cheek. He leans into my touch and closes his eyes, relaxing instantly. 775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBtIrMsBsZ
"I'm fine. Just got a little amped up, I think. Sorry about that." Should I be worried?775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz6nkdi2TgW
"Listen, I know this is for you, but I was wondering if maybe I could tell my mom we're dating, just to get her off my back? If not, that's totally okay." He wants to tell his mom? 775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDlOsFSAgi
"Uh... Sure. Yeah, of course. That will seem more realistic anyway."775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tjhRuYJBS
"Okay, great. Thanks, Kat. You're the best." He gives me another hug. 775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8s587LrBh
"I really should get going." I pull away, walking towards the door.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4neSb6wy0
"Hey, wait!" He whispers loudly. "Let me see your phone real quick."775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sAOil03TO
I hand it over without question. What's the worst he can do?775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFgR2Oe8Of
He hands it back and turns to leave without a word. 775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWQ01UDw4v

I look at my phone. 775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ32gbb165G
Me: Hello, Handsome.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcam2Q3ue4s
He must have sent a text to his own number, so it looks like I said it to him. I roll my eyes. Conceited, much?775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLp61vWYqu
I feel a buzz and look at the phone in my hand. I can't hide the smile that over takes my face.775Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrfD8ey0vJ
